On January 27, a year after the release of the very first version of KDE software suite of the fourth generation, here comes KDE 4.2 "The Answer". This is a significant release since it marks the time when KDE has matured enough to be appropriate for use by normal users and in production environments.

To celebrate the important event in KDE's history with our fans all around the world we would like to invite you to join us at one of the parties, or throw your very own party. This is a great opportunity to meet with other users of KDE and contributors who bring you this amazing collection of free software. Let's show people how cool KDE software and community are!

If you are organizing a party it's all up to you to make it just the way you like it. There could be presentations, workshops, maybe some translation marathons, a hacking contest, just some socializing fun with a drink or two. It can be short and sweet or long. You decide. Also, don't be afraid to invite some local press to the event to get the word about KDE out there.

If you decided to throw a party, do add it to the list of party locations below. Please keep the list ordered by alphabet.

See you all on the party!

On January 27, a year after the release of the very first version of KDE software suite of the fourth generation, here comes KDE 4.2 "The Answer". This is a significant release since it marks the time when KDE has matured enough to be appropriate for use by normal users and in production environments.

To celebrate the important event in KDE's history with our fans all around the world we would like to invite you to join us at one of the parties, or throw your very own party. This is a great opportunity to meet with other users of KDE and contributors who bring you this amazing collection of free software. Let's show people how cool KDE software and community are!

If you are organizing a party it's all up to you to make it just the way you like it. There could be presentations, workshops, maybe some translation marathons, a hacking contest, just some socializing fun with a drink or two. It can be short and sweet or long. You decide. Also, don't be afraid to invite some local press to the event to get the word about KDE out there.

If you decided to throw a party, do add it to the list of party locations below. Please keep the list ordered by alphabet.

Four presentations (about KDE 4.2, Plasma, Amarok 2 and, D-Bus), three workshops (creating a Plasma theme, creating a Plasma widget, and helping with translation), and after that some free socialising with some snacks and drinks. For workshops you need to register. See more info link.

Note that the event is absolutely free. The "fee" of ~100$ which was announced here is NOT necessary. The event listed here is not formally related to the AGS conference, it just happens to be at the same location.

For the AGS talk by Aaron Seigo "Democratic Software - the Implications of Open Source in Society" on Monday, January 26 see [1]. The edit introducing the fee was from a source unknown to the organizers.
